Selenopeptide Nanomedicine Activates Natural Killer Cells for Enhanced Tumor Chemoimmunotherapy

Ziyu Wei et al.

Summary: Nanotechnology-based chemoimmunotherapy has shown great potential for cancer treatment, but uncontrolled transportation and synergistic responses remain challenges. In this study, a self-assembled selenopeptide nanoparticle is developed to enhance tumor chemoimmunotherapy by activating natural killer (NK) cells through the oxidative metabolite of the selenopeptide. By leveraging the advantages of size reduction and deselenization driven by reactive oxygen species, this selenopeptide can deliver therapeutics, such as doxorubicin (DOX), to solid tumors and programmatically activate NK cells. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrate the synergistic effect between DOX-induced chemotherapy and selenopeptide-induced immunotherapy, leading to improved antitumor efficacy. The selenopeptide holds promise as a stimuli-responsive immune modulator for versatile biomedical applications.
